Lessons learned• The result is that the SMS was mixed
as the website is working, but the cost of managing and using the software is an issue.
• The 3,000 client database was not a viable business model for local private business or NGO
• The result of the IVR system was mixed. The concept and execution was good, but the deployment to usage was slow.
• Due to developer from India: The internet connectivity was slow and thus during deployment the development meet many issues

Conclusion
• Problems in rural livelihoods can be solved by ICT. – But to implement ICT we have to find the right technology
that can be accessed by the users.
• Rural people are facing a digital divide,– do not have infrastructure (network, PC etc.,),– Appropriate information systems (web, software etc.,)– Lack of relevant content.– Lack of computer literacy etc.,
